Electrical continues to be the one area that makes me feel stupid. For now, I will run the fridge off the solar charger and inverter and see if the batteries hold up. Then try to diangose the post and see if I have a problem in the rig.

The Hughes Power Watchdog works and should confirm wiring, I was only trying to get confirmation that your wiring was correct. It was not clear on 1st post.
I use a 15/20 amp dog bone all the time, but I can also read the amperage or draw on my power management system. I have never tripped a breaker on one unless I was trying to run Microwave & AC or 2 ACs which I never do.
Have you run it on other 15/20 with no issues. I have a Refrigerator in our garage and a compressor plugged into different out let and when the fridge motors come on at the same time as compressor it will trip. But again that is breaker NOT GFCI. If your outside wiring is 100% confirmed you have a fault inside of the RV or a defective GFCI ( which is rare). Any chance any wiring in the RV getting wet or in a very moist area?
